MGMT 309 - Operations Management

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Management

Description:

At its most basic level, Operations Management is the transformation of inputs into goods and services. Along the transformation, there are a variety of factors that must be taken into account including the design of the process, the quality of the materials and the process, the supply chain, the management of materials, and a variety of other issues. Throughout this course, we will investigate the transformation process and how firms can successfully incorporate operations management as part of the corporate strategy. As part of the course, we will see how operations management plays a role within the firm. We will also cover a number of quantitative tools useful in an operations setting. Lastly, it is expected that by the end of the semester, students will have a better understanding of why, regardless of the business discipline you choose, understanding a firm's operations is critical to overall business knowledge.
